This edition has the original Ramsey Campbell introduction instead of the later Scream/Press one, and adds the final story/postscript from Volume 6 which ties up the series. The copyediting and americanization is also somewhat different from the Scream/Press edition. "Jacket design and illustration copyright © 1988 by Jack Ribik" on back flap seen on eBay.
